Discover the Pantheon and some impressive attractions of the centre of Rome with this walking tour: the best way to admire one of the most famous monuments of the Eternal City and some lesser known places of the city centre, to make unique your holiday in Rome.
The Pantheon was constructed close to two thousand years ago, yet it has not lost its touch. It is a very impressive work of architecture, and it does not fail to leave a deep mark on all its visitors. This building was built on the orders of Marcus Agrippa, as a temple honoring all the gods of the Roman Empire.
It is interesting to note that almost two thousand years later the Pantheon still has the title of having the largest unreinforced concrete dome all over the world. There is an oculus at the top of the building, which provides the only light available inside the building. If you have ever been interested in knowing how light plays around in an enclosed space, the pantheon is your best bet at seeing this play out naturally.
After the Pantheon, you will walk to Piazza di Pietra, one of the most beautiful squares of the centre of Rome, where you will admire the Temple of Hadrian: an impressive building built on the orders of Antoninus Pius as a tribute to his adoptive father, Hadrian.
